Discussion

Ronald van Riet May 22, 2013:
could very well be I was thinking of a rubber bushing, which is basically what a silent block is, right?.
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald Just had this suggested
silent mounting block to limit vibrations.
Possible?
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald Just come across this.
I was discussing this very topic with a Eurocopter designer a while back.

When they stuck wings on a Gazelle the chief pilot took the first flight (as you do) then couldnt stop the thing as the lift from the wing reduced the available flare in level flight. When they did more study they found, not surprisingly, that the bigger the wing the more the aircraft behaved like a fixed wing aircraft, hence a variable incidence or free wing would do better - I believe Westlands are or are about to fly a winged Lynx soon. I imagine there's a lot of reasearch to do before we see a commercial one.
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald That's really made my evening:-(
Any bright ideas?
Ronald van Riet May 22, 2013:
no stub wing on Gazelle...
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald Any offers for earlier question?
Application of Notech 09/007, vérification brides arbre oblique.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald If it was easy I wouldn't have asked!!
Does the Gazelle have a stub wing on the right side?
Ronald van Riet May 22, 2013:
difficult it seems to translate into something wrong with the right hand fixed wing but the standard Gazelle doesn't have that and the "wings" of a chopper do not have left and right...
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@ Ronald Now you're getting technical!!!
Don't know. Serial N° 1597 Made in 1977 if that helps.
Look at my last note to Liz.
Ronald van Riet May 22, 2013:
standard SA-341 or a special version with perhaps stub wings?
Bashiqa (asker) May 22, 2013:
@Ronald Gazelle SA - 341
Ronald van Riet May 22, 2013:
what type of helicopter does this refer to?

fixture of the starboard stub wing spar

Then this must be it: the "axis" of a wing is called a "spar", "right" is usually called "starboard".

and HS is usually abbreviated to "u/s"

I wasn't aware they had ever tested a Gazelle with a stub wing.

Must be fun translating this stuff, any chance you can get them to use me as a reviewer? (not really kidding ;-)
Note from asker:
Fun it might be, but poorly paid when there are only a few words that produce a multitude of answers/discussions etc. I'll think about it in the morning, time for bed.

isn't the "bague" a washer?

I keep finding "rondelle de caoutchouc"

Note from asker:
Think I'll read this a little later, thanks.
Hi Liz, No not read it as yet. Bague is certainly rubber washer/sleeve and HS in this context means 'hors service'. So presumably the rubber thingy, protecting the right hand half-wing shaft is buggered/split/not there even.
